Which statement describes the code E10.339?

• A. Type 1 Diabetes With Nonproliferative Retinopathy, Moderate
• B. Type 1 Diabetes With Nonproliferative Retinopathy, Severe
• C. Type 2 Diabetes With Nonproliferative Retinopathy, Moderate
• D. Type 1 Diabetes With Proliferative Retinopathy

Answer: (A)

This code shows how diabetes with an eye complication is encoded in ICD-10-CM. The initial E10 designates Type 1 diabetes mellitus. The digits after the decimal specify the eye condition, with the final digits indicating the particular type and severity of retinopathy. E10.339 translates to nonproliferative retinopathy with a moderate level of severity. So the statement that matches is Type 1 diabetes mellitus with nonproliferative retinopathy, moderate. The other options would involve Type 2 diabetes, or proliferative retinopathy, or a different severity, which map to different codes.
